CVE-2026-27982
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedAn open redirect vulnerability exists in django-allauth versions prior to 65.14.1 when SAML IdP initiated SSO is enabled (it is disabled by default), which may allow an attacker to redirect users to an arbitrary external website via a crafted URL.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceAn open redirect vulnerability exists in django-allauth versions prior to 65.14.1 when SAML IdP initiated SSO is enabled. Attackers can craft malicious URLs to redirect users to arbitrary external websites, potentially enabling phishing attacks.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Check installed django-allauth versionRun `pip show django-allauth` or inspect your installed package metadata to find the version numberAffected if The installed version is lower than 65.14.1 (note: version must be checked against the affected range provided)
-
Verify if SAML IdP initiated SSO is enabledInspect your django settings.py or allauth SAML provider configuration for the setting that controls IdP-initiated SSO. This is typically configured through the allauth SAML provider admin interface or via a settings variable that permits IdP-initiated authentication flowsAffected if SAML IdP initiated SSO is explicitly enabled (not left at default disabled state)
-
Confirm SAML provider is configuredCheck if any SAML Identity Provider (IdP) is configured in your allauth installation. Review the allauth SAML provider list in the admin panel or examine settings related to SAML authentication providersAffected if A SAML IdP is configured and active in the allauth setup
-
Review redirect URLs in SAML settingsExamine the allowed assertion consumer service URLs and relay state parameters in your SAML IdP configuration to understand where users could potentially be redirectedAffected if The SAML configuration permits arbitrary or unvalidated redirect URLs
You are affected if django-allauth version is below 65.14.1 AND SAML IdP initiated SSO is enabled in your configuration

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scoped65.14.1
Upgrade django-allauth to version 65.14.1 or later. If upgrading is not immediately possible, ensure SAML IdP initiated SSO remains disabled (the default) as a compensating control.
65.14.1
- Upgrade django-allauth to version 65.14.1 or later using your package manager (e.g., pip install django-allauth==65.14.1)
- Verify the upgrade was successful by checking the installed version
- If using SAML IdP initiated SSO, verify the configuration is correct and test the redirect behavior to ensure the vulnerability is fixed
